It used to not log to daemon.log when a repository was first created, and
when starting the webapp. Now both do. Redirecting stdout and stderr to the
log is tricky when starting the webapp, because the web browser may want to
communicate with the user. (Either a console web browser, or web.browser = echo)
This is handled by restoring the original fds when running the browser.
since some systems may have configuration problems or other issues that
prevent web browsers from connecting to the right localhost IP for the
webapp.
Tested on both ipv4 and ipv6 localhost. Url for the latter looks like:
http://[::1]:50676
The expensive scan uses lookupFile, but in direct mode, that doesn't work
for files that are present. So the scan was not finding things that are
present that need to be uploaded. (It did find things not present that
needed to be downloaded.)
Now lookupFile also works in direct mode. Note that it still prefers
symlinks on disk to info committed to git, in direct mode. This is
necessary to make things like Assistant.Threads.Watcher.onAddSymlink
work correctly, when given a new symlink not yet checked into git (or
replacing a file checked into git).
Would like to also have restart UI, but that's rather harder to do,
seems it'd need to start another copy of the webapp, and redirect the
browser to its new url, but running two assistants in the same repo at
the same time isn't good.
Now there's a Config type, that's extracted from the git config at startup.
Note that laziness means that individual config values are only looked up
and parsed on demand, and so we get implicit memoization for all of them.
So this is not only prettier and more type safe, it optimises several
places that didn't have explicit memoization before. As well as getting rid
of the ugly explicit memoization code.
Not yet done for annex.<remote>.* configuration settings.
When a file is changed in direct mode, the old content is probably lost
(at least from the local repo), and bookeeping needs to be updated to
reflect this.
Also, synthetic add events are generated at assistant startup, so
make it detect when the file has not really changed, and avoid re-adding
it.
This does add the overhead of querying the runing git cat-file for the
key that's recorded in git for the file, each time a file is added or
modified in direct mode.
git add --update cannot be used, because it'll stage typechanged direct
mode files. Intead, use ls-files to find deleted files, and stage them
ourselves.
It seems that no commit was made before when the scan staged deleted files.
(Probably masked since if files were added, a commit happened then..)
Now that I'm doing the staging, I was also able to fix that bug.
This allows it to use Build.SysConfig to always install the programs
configure detected. Amoung other fixes, this ensures the right uuid
generator and checksum programs are installed.
I also cleaned up the handling of lsof's path; configure now checks for
it in PATH, but falls back to looking for it in sbin directories.
* get/copy --auto: Transfer data even if it would exceed numcopies,
when preferred content settings want it.
* drop --auto: Fix dropping content when there are no preferred content
settings.
Noticed that when pairing, sometimes both sides start to push, and the other
side sends a PushRequest, and the two deadlock, neither doing anything.
(Timeout eventually breaks this.) So, let both run at the same time.
This should help prevent git-annex clients receiving messages that
were intended for normal clients they're sharing the account with.
Changed XMPP protocol use to always send chat messages directed at the
specific client, as the negative priority blocks less directed messages.
It might even work, although nothing yet triggers XMPP pushes.
Also added a set of deferred push messages. Only one push can run at a
time, and unrelated push messages get deferred. The set will never grow
very large, because it only puts two types of messages in there, that
can only vary in the client doing the push.
